Flight compensation Germania:
Bremen — Tenerife

How to be compensated by Germania on the Bremen (BRE) - Tenerife (TFS) line

From Bremen Airport airport, your departure with Germania to Tenerife didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 3 472 km of flight, the company Germania is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight Germania Bremen - Tenerife is eligible?

The compensation for flight BRE-TFS is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Germania sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Bremen Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Germania to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Tenerife.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Bremen airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Germania (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Germania compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Germania staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Bremen Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

What are your rights at Bremen airport in case of prolonged wait?

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Bremen Airport, Germania must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Bremen Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Germania?

The amicable route with Germania to recover 400 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Germania flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

On the BRE-TFS line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Germania's legal department.

Recovering 400 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Germania systems.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

The first refusal from Germania should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

A claim organization will know exactly how to counter the airline's arguments, having access to certified meteorological histories and traffic reports from Bremen Airport airport to prove their faults.
